My Birthday

The cookie dough ice-cream cake from DQ (Dairy Queen). What a surprise!

KFC with a candle on blueberry muffin in the middle :) Whose idea was that?

Homemade whoopie pie with Quiddler cards on the side.

What does birthday mean to you? Someone thinks birthday is not a big deal, some tries to avoid it because it makes them feel "old." To me, birthday is a day of celebration with loved one. When I was little, I had birthday cakes on birthdays without fail. The whipped cream and icing used to be my favourite! Not so much now...

Birthday is a moment of joy to be embraced by warm wishes and showered with love. My 23rd birthday was full of surprises. First of all, my Lab Manager had the radio DJ sang me a birthday song which I missed (radio wasn't turned on, argghh...), a yummy whoopie pie to go with the Quiddler game that we play during break time at work, as well as a birthday card. I was touched by her sincerity and efforts in giving me surprises. Thanks, Tracy!

A birthday card from home finally arrived on my birthday! I got it from the mailbox when I reached home in the evening. The moment I entered the apartment, Paul got some candid shots of me using multiple shoots on his camera that accompanied with glaring flashes. Eric, on the other hand, surprised me from behind the door with the wonderful dish of KFC and muffin ;)(haha...didn't I baked that muffin yesterday? Why did I get my own creation as a birthday gift?)

Of course, the best is yet to come. The ice-cream cake was a hit! It was simply flattering! Even though I didn't get the full surprise because I found the cake by accident :P I'm totally spoiled by the surprises I got. It's gonna be hard to beat this. Nevertheless, I'm really grateful for all the birthday wishes and surprises. It's very much appreciated, guys! Lastly, I want to thank Mom for the gorgeous birthday gift. It's one of the most precious gifts I've ever received.

The smart phone!
